Rogue (2007) FILM
In this project I modeled the crocodile, actors face and the dog. I worked closely with the rigger, muscle systems and rendering guys to get a
crocodile model that we where all happy with. I painted the zbrush details and textures for the dog and actor. I also did some zbrush and texture work
on parts of the crocodile (white highlighted parts). I rendered stunt double face replacements and leg replacements.
V energy drink - tortoise (2008) TVC
I modeled the tortoise and made his face rig. Me and the rigger went to the zoo and shot 500+ reference pictures, it was a great overcast day so the
photos were also very helpful for the texture artist.
Nissan - Jump, Rise, Dualis (2007) TVC
I modeled, textured, rendered and animated the interior transformation shot. I also modeled and textured the Nissan Dualis (qashqai).
Subaru - Impreza numbers (2006) TVC
I worked on the exterior part of the car model and rendered the interior shot (excluding the numbers).
Sony - Robots (2006) TVC
I painted the robots textures in this commercial. I made oil, rust, dust and spec maps in photoshop and bumps and scratches in zbrush.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) FILM
I modeled the hill and cabin. The hill sculpt was made in Zbrush.
The Spirit (2008) FILM
Set dressing.
Australia (2008) FILM
We had a kangaroo model that just wasn't looking right for the shot. The directors comments where that the kangaroo needed to look more male and
buff. I spent some time looking at reference and then re worked the model paying close attention to the volumes and muscles. When I felt that the
line flow was working I made some morph targets for the main muscles so that it could match the bouncing kangaroo reference footage.
Bedtime Stories (2008) FILM
I modeled and textures the highlighted colored bits.
Johnnie Walker - Invisible Man (2006) TVC
In this project I modeled and textured clothes, hats and props.
Optus (2007 - 2009) TVC
Optus was a great client that fuel kept getting work from for years. I made the raccoon and ostrich model, the ostrich and elephant textures and
face-rigs for the raccoon and elephant. I also rendered reflection, shadow, occlusion and some other passes for some of the ads.
Wrigley's - Excel (2009) TVC
I modeled, made a face-rig, zbrushed and textured mr onion.
Glad - Forceflex 'No Escape' (2008) TVC
I modeled, textured and zbrushed Tommy the sauce and the green Glad character and made their face rigs.
Heineken - past experience (2006) TVC
I modeled the old car and the building. I textured and rendered the cars transforming.
